Anita15 December 2008Ha! The first one this time :)
It's a great idea, Vlad! Loooove it :D

Feng Wang15 December 2008Full of inspiration!

qubra16 December 2008very very interesting :)

AMPIT16 December 2008I like it very much. Thanks. Perhaps try some other colors as well.

Tim16 December 2008I got a request for your next map. Can you do one where each country is labeled as what the natives of that country call it. For example Spain would be Espana (which the wavy line over the n) while the U.S. would still be called the United States and Germany would be Deutschland I think.
I hate it when I have to say Estados Unidos is Spanish because I think that the United States should be called the United States, I'm sure some people in Europe feel the same way.

16 December 2008Супер! Мне понравилось

marcus17 December 2008First to Soleil, do you know how many country's there are in the world... if vlad did put on every country a name, he has to use a microscope to put them there and you for reading it. I thought that Soleil was the french word for SUN,so if you are not happy that there's no letter A on the map of Armenia you have to chance your name to CLOUD, no hard feelings I just wanted to say that...
Second to Vlad, again a lovely masterpiece for us to enjoy...;)
Q: F1,next time?

Warofart18 December 2008Amazing concept. Well executed.

감사해요~19 December 2008good~!

birol20 December 2008vlad this is perfect, really, people will go to buy this as a poster, can you do another work with blue colors?

Alexander20 December 2008Здорово!!!

22 December 2008Interesting! It'd be nice if you recognised Tibet!

22 December 2008@somebody: I'm sure it's just a matter of size...pretty hard to fit anything ledgible into the island. A lot of small countries miss out...I'm sure it's nothing against Taiwan!

:29 December 2008would like a tutorial on the background alone. very nice motif.

Johan Blixt Dackhammar30 December 2008I love this one! And I also think Tim's idea with country names in native languages. Here's a list that could help you with that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_capitals_in_native_languages

JS3 January 2009Nice one Vlad! :)
Soleil, do not say Arm, if he puts that there you will have "Turkey Arm"...I dunno, doesn't sound good :P
Israel, Lebanon and Jordan are missing too...but I cannot fathom how all three can be put in there.

me20 January 2009This map is wrong. Canada should go all the way up to the top of the land mass, including all of those islands next to Greenland. That's part of Canada and your map is propaganda!

Andrei, Romania5 February 2009Great, very good! It's a great idea. Romania is very big and beautiful.
Waddle on!

Borno6 February 2009HEY!! you completely left out Bangladesh. (the blank space between india and burma). nice wallpaper though.

MIHAELA2 April 2009ME A GUSTADOO!

Саша3 May 2009Класс!!

Dani17 May 2009amazing!

Vlad Gerasimov12 October 2009guppyman: thanks :-)

15 October 2009You misspelled Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Myanmar.

28 October 2009i love this map it's very beautyful!!

SoapMaker5 November 2009I use it on my work laptop to escape a bit, I use it on my wife's pc and it finally found its home on my brand new MBP which will be part of the family for the coming RTW trip. This is great, same for the other MAP oriented stuff and I just wanted to thank you and congratulate for the nice job. so MERCI from Paris.

Joe28 December 2009I think u missed Alaska as part of USA

Marcos Argentina6 May 2010Very nice pic!! really hard work

Spdyrel18 June 2010Great wallpaper, had to manually add Israel though.

llledo3 July 2010wow

Ksenia19 July 2010ho ho ho Russia is very very огромная)

Megan9 October 2010Kazakhstan is misspelled.

Immanuel25 October 2010Hi,
Can I use your wallpapers for non-profit designs?

My name12 April 2011Cool!

Dogukan Hazar Goksel15 April 2011Perfect!!!

22 January 2012Istanbul, ...

ash4 February 2012Would have loved to buy it but you left out ISRAEL!

Marco7 January 2013Hey just to made your concept even better. I think that the "U" in USA is taking some of Mexico's Baja Peninsula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baja_California_Peninsula)
Great wallpaper by the way.
Regards

Marije25 October 2013Hello Vlad, love this map. Do you have the map as vector or bigger than 2880*1800? Would love to have it printed 3mx6m and these files are not big enough. Please email me marijepauliendebruin@hotmail.com

Yuriy Gerasimov15 December 2008That's incredible. Really.

Richard15 December 2008Super cool.
I gotta buy the poster of this.

James Egli16 December 2008Very nice, Vlad! Could you do a dual screen version for Mac?

Manyk16 December 2008Outstanding Vlad! Thank you so much for this.

Arielle16 December 2008One of a kind. One has to be truly an artist to think of doing something like this. Wonderful & amazing.

Soleil16 December 2008Great idea, Vlad!
But where is Armenia? Not even tiiiiny letters, not even a single letter, nothing! You've just cleared out my country from the world map :))) In fact, there is some space, you could add at least an A or Arm... or you risk to lose some of your returning visitors! :P

pete31 January 2009sometimes your art makes it very hard to find the right words . its not only unique or beautiful or amazing or talented or or or ...-simply put this is the work of a true genius !
thx for letting us be a part of that :-)

alireza12 March 2009It's cool.

18 March 2009very original, i luv it
greetings from Belgium

Mark9 April 2009And so Tibet gets deleted. swallowed into China, even on maps.....

guppyman12 October 2009Soleil, did you know that he excluded not only Armenia, but Monaco, Maldives, The U.A.E, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tibet, Micronesia, Samoa, Polynesia, Palau, Vanuatu, The Mariana Islands, Hawaii, and countless many other nations that deserve the right to leave a mark on the map but can't because they're TOO SMALL!!! Don't blame Vlad for "clearing out" your country.
On this map's scale, which would be about APPROXIMATELY 1cm:1000km, it would be nearly impossible to see your country on it if you don't use a magnifiying glass. BTW, the countries I've listed are either independent sovereigns or federal teritorries.

Danyszheartzz12 November 2009Bored

Erika17 December 2009Very nice but it would be even nicer if it were availble in different backround-colours. Pretty pretty please Vlad or maybe Santa :)
Thanks!

stav18 May 2010hey m8!
I noticed you didn't put Israel on your maps and it really bothered me.
i hope it's just because of it's size and if not ill be happy to hear why.
(BTW you are losing a LOT of potential costumers here in Israel because of that- i know a lot of people who really love your painting and just don't want to fund anti-Israelism)
thanks!

esiak14 August 2010hi:) you are featured here: http://esiak-noart.blogspot.com/2010/08/stunning-typography-wallpapers.html

5 February 2011sichimichia

milly27 February 2011very creative... just would like to know- is it intended or not cos your whole world, by colour and way of using letters, makes me think of Africa...

Igor17 April 2011I am using this as my Mac skin as well as my Blog and Twitter background (igorristic.wordpress.com). I love it, and hope that you are okay with me using it!

Diana9 July 2012This is perfect! I am making a card for my friend, and this is sitting in great! THANK YOU!
